Chapter 21 Sculpture Fragments
Lin Yi walked up to the podium, but before he reached the bulletin board, he suddenly noticed some white powder and debris on the ground near the podium.

"Huh? What is this?" Lin Yi felt puzzled and reached out to pick up a piece of debris.

This is a thin and crispy piece of coconut-like fragments, and with the white powder, it is easy to be reminiscent of broken chalk.

He looked up at the slot in front of the blackboard.

There is no chalk in the board slot.

He looked at the podium again.

There is no chalk box on the podium.

"There's no chalk in the whole classroom..." He frowned secretly, "So where did this thing come from? The homeroom teacher didn't seem to notice it when he signed in?"

At this moment, Wei Liang's exclamation rang in Lin Yi's ears like an explosion: "Fuck, this, this, this... is this a piece of plaster?!"

Wei Liang stared closely at the fragments in Lin Yi's hand and jumped very high like a rabbit whose tail was stepped on.

Then he noticed the white powder at Lin Yi's feet. He shouted "Fuck" on the spot and walked around the white powder several times. The fear in his eyes became more and more intense.

Lin Yi was shocked by Wei Liang's reaction and no longer had time to care about the white fragments. He quickly calmed Wei Liang down and asked, "What's wrong, Liangzi? What did you find?"

Wei Liang pointed at the white fragment in Lin Yi's hand with a trembling finger: "Old Lin, that thing in your hand is a piece of plaster!"

"I recognize it now." Lin Yi gently bent it, and the plaster fragments broke with a "snap".

Lin Yi threw the fragment away, patted the dust off his hands, then looked at Wei Liang's horrified expression and asked puzzledly: "But this seems to be just the most ordinary plaster fragment... I can't see any problem."

Wei Liang took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then said, "Old Lin, you are right, but since there are plaster fragments, it means that someone brought something containing plaster into the classroom, and left these fragments and powder behind..."

"So...what is there on campus that has to do with gypsum?"

Lin Yi thought for a moment, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he blurted out: "Sculpture?!"

When the word "sculpture" came out of his mouth, a violent brainstorm instantly set off in his mind. Plaster is a fragment of sculpture, but there was no sculpture in the classroom yesterday, which means...

"After the classroom was closed yesterday, someone moved a sculpture into the classroom?!"

The memories of last night surged uncontrollably, and the broken clues began to piece together...

"After the lights went out, the classroom door opened..."

"Then the fog outside the teaching building also came into the classroom, and then those students who were not right started to move one by one..."

"So, the thing on the podium was actually a sculpture, and then the security guard passed by and took it out of the classroom with a chain, and then fought with the unknown creature that brought it into the classroom?"

"This fragment...was dropped when the chain hit the statue!"

"Why did the security guard pass by the classroom but not come in?"

"What about the sculpture?"

Lin Yi started thinking subconsciously, his brain running like a motor and gradually began to overload.

“Wait wait wait!!!”

"The student code says that all sculptures are kept in the Art Building!"

"But...neither the building regulations nor the campus map that comes with the regulations have the location of the art building marked!"

Lin Yi became the center of thinking, and his thoughts began to become increasingly confused.

It seemed as if something beyond cognition was quietly cutting into his cognitive realm...

The terrible brainstorm seemed to destroy everything. Lin Yi stood there like a petrified man, and the temperature around him seemed to drop.

The white powder on the floor tiles beside the podium trembled slightly...

“Crack!”

Just when Lin Yi was caught in a storm of thoughts and seemed to be swallowed by the messy fragments of thoughts, the door of the classroom was opened from the outside.

……

The classroom door opened, and warm sunlight poured into the classroom through the door frame, overwhelming Lin Yi.

Lin Yi, who was stuck in a quagmire, suddenly felt a white light falling from the void and enveloping him completely.

A feeling of warmth and comfort that he had not felt since following the blue bus into the mountains reappeared in him.

"It's so warm..."

Lin Yi subconsciously stopped thinking, and the terrible brainstorm gradually subsided.

He slowly withdrew his thoughts, and a call that seemed to come from a distance rang in his ears.

The voice was calling urgently: "Lao Lin...Lao Lin...Lao Lin..."

As the sound gradually grew louder, he felt himself being shaken.

He collected his thoughts and slowly opened his eyes, which became clearer than before. What came into view was Wei Liang's anxious face.

At this moment, Wei Liang was brushing his shoulders and shaking him vigorously.

Seeing him wake up, Wei Liang breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Lao Lin, you finally woke up. If you don't wake up, I will use extraordinary measures."

Lin Yi suddenly realized something and looked at his watch immediately.

8: 13.

"8::13? I was distracted for half an hour?!" He looked at Wei Liang in shock.

Wei Liang was still panting. Hearing this, he waved his hands repeatedly, "Not that long, at most it will only be twenty minutes. At first I saw you not moving and thought you were thinking, but later I realized you were standing there like you were possessed!"

"Lao Lin, have you thought of something strange again? But wait a minute, before you tell me, are you sure it's something I can know?"

Lin Yi was slightly startled, hesitated for a moment, then sighed helplessly and said, "Well, forget it. But... it seems that you were the one who brought up the sculpture thing?"

"I mentioned sculptures, but I know very little about them!" Wei Liang said quickly, "I know they are related to art students, and art students... are said to be a group of very evil people!"

When it comes to art students, Wei Liang can hardly hide the fear on his face.

Lin Yi also remembered Wei Liang's reaction when he saw the female teacher, and immediately asked, "Liangzi, is there any problem with art students?"

Wei Liang pondered for a long time, and finally said in a calm voice: "I don't know. The last time I came here, I didn't meet any art students at all, but I heard my roommates at that time talk about things related to art students..."

"It seems to be some kind of library, sculpture experience class or something like that..."

"I didn't take it seriously at first, but then... my roommates kept staying out all night, and I didn't see them again until I left."

"I know very little information. I only know that they seem to have their own 'codes', and they are very different from ours..."

Lin Yi gradually fell silent.

Wei Liang had never said these words to him before. He took a look at the plaster fragments and powder on the ground, and suddenly found that the white plaster powder had hardened into fragments under the sunlight.

"Huh? This powder can actually harden?" He squatted down, touched it curiously, then twisted it on his fingertips, and then found that there was not a bit of white on his fingers.

"That's not an ordinary piece of plaster." A cold voice sounded behind him.

Lin Yi looked back in surprise and suddenly found that Xu Shunkang had appeared at the door of the classroom at some point, holding the door handle in his hand.

He was the one who opened the door just now.

It's just that he hasn't spoken until now.

"I didn't expect to see you again. You two are really lucky guys." Xu Shunkang's tone was somewhat teasing. He then looked at Lin Yi and said, "But you still don't listen to advice as usual."

"Good fortune favors fools. You'd better not be too smart here."

As he spoke, he handed two rolls of biscuits to Lin Yi and Wei Liang respectively.

Lin Yi and Wei Liang looked surprised.

"What? Even though I don't like you guys very much, I predicted that I would see you, so I brought you some food." Xu Shunkang said, "Look at the way you two look like you have kidney deficiency. I can tell at a glance that you had a hard time last night, right?"

"Abnormal weather is like this, especially..." Xu Shunkang narrowed his eyes, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes, "or the situation like last night."

"Hey, take it and eat it."

Although Xu Shunkang has a sharp tongue, he seems to have a good heart.

Lin Yi and Wei Liang took the biscuits and slowly started eating them.

Soon, Xie Huayang appeared at the door of the classroom.

"Fatty, where are the biscuits I asked you to bring? Come on, I'm starving!" As soon as Xie Huayang appeared, he stretched out his hand to ask Xu Shunkang for biscuits.

Lin Yi and Wei Liang, who had just eaten two cookies, froze and could not help but look at Xu Shunkang.

Xu Shunkang's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly slapped his head and said, "Oh, I forgot to buy it for you!"

"Forget you, did you give them my cookies?" Xie Huayang smelled the biscuits, pointed at Lin Yi and Wei Liang, and his eyebrows twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

"There was only that one kind of biscuits in the canteen. Don't tell me they happened to go to the cafeteria, happened to skip breakfast, and happened to buy a roll of biscuits each, and happened to bring them back to eat and I happened to see them!"

Xu Shunkang put on a smiling face: "Actually...it just happened by coincidence."

"Okay, okay, let's play it this way! I'll remember it!" Xie Huayang snorted, stopped talking nonsense with Xu Shunkang, found a seat and sat down.

Lin Yi looked at the awkward Xu Shunkang and suddenly understood:
There is no such thing as top-level prediction. It is clearly just a hindsight performance with perfect acting skills.

Xu Shunkang actually didn't expect that they could really survive that night...

"By the way, the class schedule has been updated." Lin Yi was grateful, so he returned the favor and pointed to the class schedule to remind Xie Huayang.

"The class schedule is meaningless." Xie Huayang said unhappily, "It's all the same to us."

Lin Yi felt disappointed and stopped talking. Then he and Wei Liang walked towards the notice board next to the blackboard.

At the same time, try to use your body to cover up the action of eating cookies...

When Xie Huayang saw these two guys doing this, his eyes jumped, but he didn't say much.

……

Coming to the notice board, Lin Yi looked at the class schedule.

The class schedule of S City University is similar to that of Lin Yi's own university. There are not many courses per se, but there are three physical education classes clearly marked in the curriculum.

这三次体育课分别位于5月7日、5月9日、5月11日的下午，时间都是下午14：30～15:30。

Next to the words "Physical Education" on the timetable there is a row of notes:
【Physical education class will be cancelled due to rain.】

【Please arrive at the gymnasium before class and arrange your time appropriately. 】

"Looks very normal." Lin Yi touched his chin and said to himself: "Three physical education classes a week, one hour each..."

"It's basically like having lunch, taking a break, and then going to the gym for class. After class, you can go to the cafeteria for dinner right after that."

"Rounded up to half a day."

Wei Liang, who was beside Lin Yi, smacked his lips and said with a smile: "Physical education is a good thing!"

Lin Yi asked curiously: "Oh, is there any explanation?"

Wei Liang chuckled and said, "There must be an explanation!"

“Can I contact sports students?”

"Not all of them." Wei Liang said, trying to pout, signaling Xu Shunkang and Xie Huayang with his eyes, muttering, "Didn't you just come into contact with a sports student? You can also come into contact with a sports student in a serious class."

Lin Yi was puzzled and asked, "What about physical education class? Is there another explanation?"

Wei Liang leaned over and smiled evilly, "There are girls in the physical education class!"

He made faces and was beaming with joy.

Lin Yi glanced at him with a look that said "I think too highly of you" and suddenly began to doubt the meaning of what he had said before: "In addition to reading the seven-day comics, you also have to take physical education classes."

"That's it?" he said contemptuously.

"Ah? You mean 'that'?" Wei Liang sneered and immediately added in a mean way, "There are swimming lessons and gymnastics lessons."

Lin Yi's eyebrows twitched, and a light flashed in his eyes.

"Fuck you...I wouldn't be sleepy if you had told me earlier!"

Wei Liang poked his kidney and said with a smile: "Why, your kidneys are not weak again?"

"When have I ever suffered from kidney deficiency? How dare you spread such a rumor?" Lin Yi widened his eyes, and was so angry that he was about to give Wei Liang a scalp.

Wei Liang quickly held his head and said, "You couldn't even stand steadily just now, isn't it because of kidney deficiency?"

Lin Yi was speechless: "That's because I saw the head teacher! Didn't you see the head teacher's eyes?"

"Those are cosmetic contact lenses." Wei Liang blurted out, paralyzing himself with a mental victory.

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood what Wei Liang meant. In order to prevent Wei Liang from thinking about the problem, he quickly ended the topic.

He decided to take the pressure on himself and keep a clean place for Wei Liang.

But Wei Liang seemed to have thought of something, and muttered: "I thought you were going to say that you lost your composure because you saw that pair of torn stockings! Come to think of it, I don't know if you noticed that her foot seemed to be sprained..."
